everything that you described, I did and do without any problems. but cockroaches in the house, I really, extremely unpleasant, like many other people. don't confuse nature and home. or do you raise cockroaches at home? have you seen red flying cockroaches 10 cm long with whiskers? believe me, it's not a pleasant sight... although, for whom as. for me personally, these are disease vectors.

Bred for spiders.I wrote about expressions.

Hello there!! I have a problem... I live in Spain, in a country house. and now, with the arrival of spring, strange little black cockroaches began to crawl out, which in case of danger curl up into a ball! It's like they're in a shell! I searched the Internet, their name is perisphaerus, but I didn't find much information! only katrinks in google
http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&biw=...&q=Perisphaerus
please help me! are they dangerous?

Perisphaeriinae have not been recorded in Europe or Spain, as far as I know. Moreover, in the subfamily, only one genus can reliably collapse into a ball - this is Perisphaerus proper. So it's generally Indo-Malay. According to my observations, perisferins do not go into houses, but live in the forest, far from human habitation.

I can assume that in your case these are millipedes from the family Glomeridae (Diplopoda).

In any case, these animals do not pose any danger to humans.

and here are photos of my unusual inhabitants! )))) this cockroach was about 2 cm long.
could you explain more specifically how to deal with them?
thank you in advance!

Well, now todo claro. It's a woodlouse, a crustacean. Lower the humidity. Don't use chemicals if you don't want to go bald.

Yes, unfortunately, not my clients
And looking at the first photo, my heart skipped a beat - did Perisphaerus really appear in Europe?

Yes, it doesn't smell like cockroaches. Woodlouse definitely.

¡muy bien! Of course, I don't want to go bald ))) pfft.. but how do I lower the humidity?? it's everywhere, the sea is nearby.. and why then in the winter they were not??...

Yes, unfortunately, not my clients
And looking at the first photo, my heart skipped a beat - did Perisphaerus really appear in Europe?

well, imagine how similar they are! even a specialist's heart skipped a beat, what can you say about me?. I saw on the Internet and wrote, who knew that the appearance of absolutely identical insects can be completely different!

who knew that the appearance of absolutely identical insects can be completely different!

Woodlice are not insects, but crustaceans. They are much closer to your favorite lobsters, lobsters and shrimps than to cockroaches.

Leave these animals alone - they bring happiness...

haha! great! I never would have thought of that! so they don't do any harm, do they? and they need to be kept alive?

Hello! Help me identify it.
In the area of one window, these flying creatures appeared. Two antennae, about the size of an ordinary ant, with a long black tail the size of a calf at the back. What's it? Where does it come from and how to deal with it?

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/26751/images/insect.jpg

This parasitic hymenopteran insect is not dangerous to humans. Don't fight it, just let it out.

Well, the question is rather not whether they are dangerous, but where did they come from? Why do they pile up in one corner and how can they be "released" all at once? Because there are a lot of them divorced.

Please TELL me who it is!??! it's not very pleasant to go out on the balcony when there are such things flying and crawling.
Recently moved into the apartment. The house is about seven years old. No more than that. The balcony is wooden. I saw such beetles dead on it when I stopped by. At first I thought it was cigarette ash. They're dead little grays. I collected them with a vacuum cleaner. it's been two weeks, all over again. There are more and more of them.
It's unpleasant that they fly into the apartment.
Who can it be, and is there a way to expel them?

CRUSH THEM!!!
these are leatherworms from the genus Anthrenus
http://www.zin.ru/animalia/coleoptera/rus/anthr_gn.htm
extremely "nasty" creatures! they eat leather, furs, stuffed animals, collectible material, and much more. they do not fly into the apartment, but live there=it means there is something to eat. look in closets and so on. you can find out by beetles, larvae or skins - such small hairy ones. saves antimol

ugh. and if I put my felt boots in a bag on the balcony 2 weeks ago, could they have already eaten them too? or do they not like felt wool?)
after a photo of a hairy larva, it's disgusting to look for their lair

well, if the boots are not made of plastic wool, then it is likely that they can yum-yum. better check it out. probably in the bag (if they are from it) there is an entrance-a crack/hole, and for them in general any bm leaky packaging is an invitation to the table from the front entrance. valenochki better check thoroughly, and then pour mothballs or just something like raptor-antimol (plates a la from mosquitoes), TIGHTLY! tie it in a bag, put it in another bag, and so on (choose the degree of protection yourself). good luck.
ps why such a reaction of the "hairy larva"? be kinder, not "hairy", but fluffy

there are fluffy cats. and these things are hairy.
by the way, cats and turtles will not get anything from them?

"Save my grandmother!:) for about two months now, my grandmother practically doesn't sleep because of some parasitic insects living under her skin!!! She says they move and bite (but not hard). At first, they thought it was a scabies mite, forced them to wash every other day and completely smear themselves with a special ointment, but a month has passed and they still crawl under the skin...most of all, they are disturbed at night and on those areas of the skin where clothing fits snugly or where it is leaning or lying on. And she also caught some kind of gray bug with a bunch of legs, about 5 mm long, which" like an arrow " jumped away from her after being bitten.

SAVE-HELP!!!!!!!!!!!
there are butterflies in the house! before that, they never existed, but in August and September they appeared. initially, it was 1-2 pieces in the bathroom, then - up to 5, but for 2 months now there is no escape from them! they bred up to horror!!!! it feels like we live in evidence 2 times a day, we collect them with a vacuum cleaner all over the house( cottage), and hundreds of 2 MB and more in one go , we thought that we would get rid of them in such a "gentle" way within 2-3 weeks. but no! they breed somewhere under the floor, and from there they climb. I have already read everything that was about them in the Internet, but there are no specific measures to combat them, except to reduce the humidity of the room. and how to do it??? if they're under the floor somewhere??? Spharischen-PODSKAJITE THAT-thread!!!!!

There is a scientific explanation for everything. Let's take it in order.
1. grandma is old.at the age of reality can be distorted as in children, everyone remembers how in childhood they spread their hands to the sides and said-I vooot caught such a beetle!
2. a gray bug with a bunch of legs? in this case, I think experts will help here if you describe in more detail, but I think that this is a bed bug that successfully jumped off your finger.
3. they live under the skin and move...carefully examine your hand for scabies mites.
4. specks of blood in the morning on the shirt and restless sleep at night, someone crawls, bites....It's probably a bed bug! typical symptoms of its presence.check out the pastels,every nook and cranny! they hide like cockroaches in nooks and crannies.they are small, brown, like a match head and smaller.they sit in small groups....(change your grandmother's clothes and take her to another apartment, check how she will sleep in another place)
.... well, everything else is a fantasy

I think you answered also Figured it out already?

Please help me!!!!
I left the apartment for a few weeks, came back, and there are some small brown beetles crawling around the house. First I found it in the bathroom and in the kitchen sink. I just washed them off, because I didn't want to push them somehow. But they reappeared and not only there: on the sponge near the sink, in the cabinet with cereals and pasta... I read that there are weevils that grow in flour and cereals... But they don't look much like them. In addition, they are already crawling everywhere: in the bedroom on the floor, on the walls, and in the hallway. Now I threw everything out of that closet, washed everything with water and vinegar. In general, I went through everything everywhere. I met a few more beetles today.
I hope that after I threw out all the cereals, they will still be transferred. Just in case, maybe someone knows what these beetles are? Are there any other ways to deal with them?

Looks like a Surinamese flour eater, Google it.

Yes, it looks like it (the Surinamese flour eater). it lives in food reserves. once I fished out fifty people from a plate of cabbage soup, but it turned out that they lived in a jar of spices.

Thank you so much for your reply!!!
I've read a lot about him... Now, I think, for a long time such a " pet " will live with me)))

It's definitely bedbugs. And grains are a product of the vital activity of bedbugs after they have already been eaten.

Leatherheads can theoretically bite. But most likely they are bedbugs

*0*!!!! I won't sleep at night now

Ukraine. Kiev region. end of May. Insects actively flew out of burrows in the ground in sunny, dry, dry weather. They actively swarmed and mated over the birthplace, sitting on close-growing plants, in my opinion, not giving preference to any.

Damn, almost blank verse! And the most important thing is not there - but who do they look like, what did they look like? And best of all - photos!

This is a false scorpion. Only he's not an insect, he's a spider.

Good afternoon! Please help me. Who knows what kind of insect it is? I woke up this morning with a pain in my leg. It felt like a bee sting. I pulled back the blanket and saw this insect. I can't say for sure, but I think it was already dead. It lay there and didn't move. I probably put my foot on it. The size is about 1 cm, the wings are transparent, grayish in color (like a fly or wasp), the body is black, a small head on which you can see something similar to a sting. After the bite, a round swelling formed, 1-1. 5 cm in diameter, and in the center a small red wound. It hurts a little. I am currently in Turkey. I'm worried, because I don't know what kind of insect it is and how dangerous the bite is. And should I see a doctor?

I'll add another description. I took a closer look at the insect. It has only four wings, under the dark wings are still transparent-iridescent. The body is sometimes black, sometimes dark brown. And from the side of the belly (where the paws are attached) and the paws themselves (of which there are six) are light brown. I looked carefully, really something like a sting in the mouth area. I read here on the forum about betilids, it seems. But, in betilids, the body consists of 2 segments and a head, and here the body is solid and the head is smaller than in betilids. I would really like to know what kind of animal this is, because until this morning I have already neutralized 2 of the same. Now I'm afraid to be bitten again Tell me, please!
